Chapter 14 Part 1 Flashcards
What kind of nerves are cranial nerves?
sensory, motor, and autonomic functions
How do cranial nerves differ from other nerves?
Some are only motor, others are only sensory, and some are both sensory and motor - mixed
What are the functions of cranial nerves?
- Transmit somatosensory information
- Transmit special sensory information
- Supply motor innervation
- Provide parasympathetic regulation
From where do cranial nerves transmit somatosensory information?
from the skin and muscles of the face and from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
From where do cranial nerves transmit special sensory information?
related to visual, auditory, vestibular, gustatory, olfactory, and visceral sensations
From where do cranial nerves supply motor innervation?
to the muscles of the face, eyes, tongue, jaw, and two neck muscles
From where do cranial nerves provide parasympathetic regulation?
of pupil size, curvature of the lens of the eye, HR, BP, breathing, and digestion
